I am always interested in free samples :D one idea would be to take a bunch of small metal things (like coins or tiny screws) put them into a glass container and shake it creating a 'shaker'.

Try kicking a wall with the back of your foot. It's a pretty deep bass

more ideas off the top of my head..

- get a paper bag blow it up and pop it (this might sound really good in a bathroom with its natural reverb)
- a small cardboard box hiting a solid object (ie. desk)
- hiting a pillow against a couch (with a lot of force) makes a soft deep kick drum sound (it would be good for layering)
- if you dont mind breaking glass... break glass.
- hitting any kink of tin object with drum sticks
- Slaping yourself in the stomach or thigh makes great clap sounds (I know deadmau5 has used this in some of his music)
- droping a cd, flat, on a hard surface (ie. table)

One of my friends once recorded him hitting a piece of metal pipe with a penny, and it was a really cool sound. Try that out if you can.
Youtube -- Soundcloud -- Tumblr -- Bandcamp (new album out!)

I can't feel my brain.

Carry around a microphone and just record yourself banging on /everything/
You might get some interesting sounds.

Just go around your school/campus/neighborhood/whatever and hit random things with various objects and see what tones you can get. Also note the different ways you can effect the pitch of various objects, an example being filling a metal tube with water partially.
